NFL Draft: Top priority picks for each team

NFL Draft: Top priority picks for each team

With the scouting combine kicking off this week, the 2018 NFL draft season if officially at full-throttle.

While first-round picks get most of the attention, the best fits are often found the rest of the way. From Kareem Hunt and Dak Prescott to Michael Thomas and Yannick Ngakoue, impact players can be found anywhere in the draft if teams know which players will fit best with their needs and playing style.

With less than two months left until draft weekend, let’s take a look at which top prospect should be each team’s primary target.

ARIZONA CARDINALS

Josh Allen | QB | Wyoming

Carson Palmer’s retirement has made this a more urgent need, but the Cardinals have some decent enough veteran options who could be the bridge to a young gun like Allen. Extremely raw but loaded with rare arm talent, Allen’s physical tools are undeniable, but this year’s deep quarterback class and his struggles against Power 5 competition in college could leave him on the board longer than expected. Even if they have to trade up from their current first-round slot (No. 15 overall), grabbing Allen and stashing him for a season behind some more experienced players could pay huge dividends down the road.
